About

Have you seen Aslan? Full of references to the 7 Chronicles of Narnia books, this pleasant house features 3 bedrooms based on 3 books, and the main area based on 3 books. And a wardrobe! (For older readers, many other books by and about Lewis are hidden in the wardrobe, too!) To enter Narnia, you might have to find a few clues to unlock the wardrobe...your adventure awaits!This lovely getaway is located approximately 21 miles from the Hoover Met Complex.

Good to know

This lovely home is so close to grocery stores, restaurants, Starbucks, but feels like an urban retreat. Veterans Park is just a few mile south on Hwy 119, with walking trails, 2 playgrounds, ball fields, dog park, and a skate park. Interstate 65 is within a 10 minute drive, and University of Montevallo, American Village & Shelby Airport are within a 15 mile radius.

Other Details to Note

We welcome dogs (no cats, please). We charge a $145 pet fee, with a maximum of three dogs per stay. We request name (s) and breed (s) when booking. Our pet fee is for the entire stay. We ask that all our guests list accurately the total number of guests and pets. There is a nightly fee of $25 dollars per additional guest over the number of three. Our wood-burning fireplace is available for use, with permission, from Oct - Feb, for a $25 fee. Just let us know when booking if you would like to reserve use of the fireplace during your stay, and we will send the request through Airbnb as an Extra Service. Please note: This house is a split-entry, so THERE ARE STAIRS up to the front door, and from the entryway to the main level. All the living area is located on the upper level, EXCEPT the laundry room, which is on the lower floor.

Wonderful home! We felt very at ease and welcome. We were there to help move our granddaughter into the dorms at University of Montevallo. The house was only a short drive away and very convenient to stores and restaurants. Our granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed the treasure hunt to find the key to the wardrobe, and she loved having her own bedroom instead of us staying in a hotel. The kitchen was very adequate for the simple meals we fixed during the week. And it was nice to be able to do our laundry before heading home. Highly recommend this house and our hostess, Gabrielle!

6 star stay. G and her team are superb hosts and the home is really nice. If you’re a Narnia fan, there’s so added fun in the home! Hats off to G and her team, highly recommend this and other homes she manages.
